ALONE WITH Il TRAMP.
A Newark Womans FrEghffnI Encounter
With Morning visitor.

EEwARK, Jan. Particulars of a vii
iainously daring outrage by tramp have
Just come to light in this city. Last Thur
day morning the little son OF James Fl.
Van Houten of Boyden street, Newark,
after preparing to go to school, asked his
motherf for few pennies to spend. She
told him that she had nothing but $40
note, and hurried him away. Five minutes
later she heard knock at the door, and
opening it, was confronted by burly
tramp, who asked for help. She went to
the closet to get food, and he availed him
self of the opportunity to step into the
dining-room.
Il don't want food" he said roughly as
he closed the door. 81 want money
Mrs. Van Houten said she had none.
"You ie," he roared. 81 was in the
cellar when you told your boy that you
had $40 bill.
As he spoke he sprang at her, and
throwing her to the floor, choked her to
stifie her cries. While she lay PROSTATE,
he riaed her pockets, found the SO bill,
and escaped. Mrs. Van Houten is still
suffering from the shock of the attack.

The Court of Errors Give Judgment
Against Grocer Mcdonald.

The Court of Errors and Appeals handed
down decision at Trenton yesterday in
the suit of Washington B. Williams as Re-
ceiver of the Mechanic and Laborers Bank,
of this city, against 0. t. W. Mcdonald,
the Newark avenue grocer, reversing de-
cision of the Chancellor. which was in fa-
vor of Mcdonald. The facts of the case
are az follows: Some years ago one
Michael Murphy applied to Mcdonald,
who was, at the time, director of the Me-
ehanics and Laborers Bank, for loan Of
some money, Offering as security mort
gage on his property upon which there
were, at the time, a first and second mort
gage. Mcdonald consented to make the
loan and went 70 draw some money from
the Mechanics Laborefs Bank which
he had there on special deposit but John
Halliard, the President, advised Mcdonald
to allow the bank to make the loan and Sc
cure six per cent. interest on it, to which
Mcdonald consented. The mortgage was
made out to Mcdonald and he assigned it
to the bank. A check for the amount OF
the loan was given to Mcdonald who hand
ed it over to Murphy. Murphy afterwards
became insolvent and the first mortgage
on his property was foreclesed leaving nc
surplus to pay the banks claim. Mr.. Will
Hams, the receiver of the bank, brought
suit against Mcdonald for the amount
loaned to Murphy, claiming that as Nc
Donald was an officer of the bank at the
time of.the transaction it was unlawful for
him to assign third mortgage tc the bank.
When the case was tried before the Chan
cellor he decided in favor of Mcdonald.
Under the decision of the Court of Errors
reversing the Chancellor's decision, Nc
Donald will have to pay about $1,000,
which will accrue to the deposilors of the
bank.

A New York Brol<erane Firm Pay for
an ul-Advlsed Sale.

New YORK, January 8.-O1 June Is,
1884, sterling loan of $4,000 was made
to the Oregon and Transcontinental Co.
for sixty days, secured by stocks of certain
corporations owned by the borrower, de-
posted with the lenders, Messrs. Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, and by a stock note in the
usual form. The prices of the stocks de-
posted as collateral, and the prices of
stocks dealt in on the Stock Exchange
generally, declined rapidly, and on June
26, eight days after the loan was made, the
condition of the stock market was panicky
The lenders became alarmed, made calls
for additional collateral, and at about one
o'clock of that day, sold sufficient of the
collateral to pay themselves the amount
of the loan, and returned the balance of
the securities to the borrower The bor-
rover insisted that the sale was unwar-
ranted; that the time allowed to make good
the margin, if it was deficient, was less
than an hour, and was unreasonable; that
the borrower was at the lenders counting
house rendering proper margin at the mo-
ment the sale was effected. The contro-
versy resulted in an action by the company
against Messrs. Kuhn. Loeb 81 Co. for con-
version of the collateral, and the damages
demanded was the difference between the
price at which the securities were sold and
the price of the same securities upon the
day of the maturity Of the loan, on which
latter day the amount of the loan was ten
dared and the securities demanded. judy
mens for Sis, 074 was given for the plain
tiff. The brokers appealed. Pending the
appeal, they to-day paid 500, 900 to the
plaintiff in settlement of their claim.
